Re: [Vo]:unknown mechanism generates voltage in the powder cracks

2014-03-13 Thread Nigel Dyer

Hi Mark
I beleive that there are two or three closely connected effects that can 
be seen within Jerrys EZ work.  The core effect is that water close to a 
charged surface has a slightly different structure, one of the 
characteristics od this water is that it excludes stuff, small 
particles, dye, and even protons, which is why the water slightly 
further away is acidic.  You are right that this region can be 'pumped' 
by IR and will grow as a result, but it will exist even in a system in 
total thermal equilibrium. We also know that water at a surface has a 
similar property, and I beleive that this is why you get charge 
separation associated with rain drops, and I think that this is why a 
recent paper appears to have shown that it is water adsorbed on a 
surface that is key to the generation of static electricity when you rub 
things together


http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/adva/1/2/10.1063/1.3592522

My hunch that it is the water adsorbed onto the surface of the flour 
granuals that is key to understanding how the charge separation occurs 
in the flour experiment.

I think there is a link.   I think that one of the simplest

leaving a region of negatively charged (but not alkalie) water.   This

electricity.  It can happen with suspended water droplets, and can 
result in negatively charged water droplets leaving charged protons

Re: [Vo]:unknown mechanism generates voltage in the powder cracks

2014-03-13 Thread Nigel Dyer
I wonder if the interaction between the flour and the container produces 
an voltage gradient at the surface which then provides the bias 
(symmetry breaking) that catalysies the creation of the formation of a 
macroscopic voltage gradient.   I have mentioned Jerry Pollacks work in 
another reply on this thread.  The action of a surface as an initial 
catylyst would mirror the way that significant potential gradiants (100s 
of mV not many volts however) can build up in water as a result of 
surface charge at the boundary.

2014-03-10 Thread Roarty, Francis X
Harry,
Good point and it aligns with dynamic casimir effect and 
possibly a form of crack propagation which is normally in a metals but may 
apply to the exotic hydrogen states we are discussing.  It could also fit into 
Mills description of self catalyzing hydrino states and Peng Chens paper about 
catalytic action only occurring at openings and defects in nanotubes..if the 
already suppressed hydrogen forms an isotropy at one scale and then individual 
members then fall into a smaller crack in the geometry does their vacancy break 
the isotropy and initiate a  crack propagatin as surrounding gas rushes in to 
fill the hole.. if this was normal physics we would expect pressure 
equalization but suppression of longer vacuum wavelengths is not normal 
physics..and more hydrogen in means more hydrogen out but IMHO there is no 
spatial bias as the suppression is in a relativistic direction and the 
exiting hydrogen is pressure driven out equally around the channel of highest 
suppression where the hydrogen is entering much like a steam heat system which 
uses 1 pipe where steam goes thru the pipe but water condenses and falls back 
down the inner walls of the pipe to return to the boiler.

If this has any bearing on hydrogen loaded metal lattices then the equivalent 
of the flour crack might be a region which was formerly filled with hydrogen 
but which suddenly became devoid of hydrogen. In other words, instead of cracks 
in the lattice being important to excess heat,  it might be the opening and 
closing of cracks in the distribution of hydrogen which contribute to excess 
heat.

Axil, I don't get it.   Why not optimize this for power generation?  Find a
way to generate cracks in a nano material with a small amount of
electricity.  Presumably there is an optimal material, shape, context in
terms of gases present that causes this, and a better method than just
'shifting a Tupperware container'

This sounds like a revolutionary news article where the main stream press
and a good university (Rutgers) is coming to terms with the reality
something is happening there.

My only question, is that is voltage being reported.  What was the excess
thermal heat?  Going to email them.

RE: [Vo]:unknown mechanism generates voltage in the powder cracks

Did my master's thesis under Dr. James Telford, atmospheric physicist, and
expert in cloud microphysics.  One of Telford's areas of interest was cloud
electrification, which, at the time, was still not clearly explained.  My
thesis redesigned a novel airborne electric field measuring device which he
and Dr. Peter Wagner had developed.  One hypothesis about cloud
electrification had to do with the collision of droplets inside the cloud
causing a transfer of electrical charge, but that was only one of several
hypotheses.  When I read the article on the electrification of the powder, I
immediately thought that the mechanism could be related.

I judge this to be important of the LENR scientist as follows:

These patterns proved that the fireballs were indeed full of particles with
an average radius of about 25 nm - i.e. they are nanoparticles. The data
also showed that* the particles varied widely in size (very important)* (as
is typical of aerosols) and that there were about 109 particles per cubic
centimetre. This makes the volume fraction of solid material (the ratio of
volume of solid to total volume of space) in the fireball around 10-7 or 10
-8. There was really only a very, very, small amount of matter in the
cloud. The analysis also suggested that the particles had quite a rough
surface: the scientists found the surface to have a fractal dimension of
2.6 (2.0 corresponds to a smooth 2D surface,

If this has any bearing on hydrogen loaded metal lattices then the
equivalent of the flour crack might be a region which was formerly filled
with hydrogen but which suddenly became devoid of hydrogen. In other words,
instead of cracks in the lattice being important to excess heat,  it might
be the opening and closing of cracks in the distribution of hydrogen
which contribute to excess heat.

Hi,

LENR has been talking about this for some time now.

My take:-

When two grains rub against one another, the distance between them is nm. If a
slight charge imbalance develops due to friction, and the particles are
insulators, they form a minute capacitor. If a crack in the powder forms, then
the nm distance can increase to mm's. This deceases the capacitance enormously,
and since the charge is fixed, the voltage rises accordingly.

High voltages won't develop where there is ground water containing some
dissolved salts, as it will short out the high voltage.

Normally a charge imbalance arises when different materials are rubbed
together. (eg. amber and fur)
Since all the grains are made from same the material a charge imbalance
should not occur and no voltage should arise
...hence the mystery.

The important message therefore is this: LENR is passing the fractal test
- we live in a fractal universe, where a pattern at one scale, repeats at
larger and smaller scales. Without that symmetry, the universe would break
down, and LENR does not let us down here
